　　Guidelines to detangle or prevent your cheap lace wig from tangling

1.   Do not wash your cheap lace wig with shampoos that contain harsh chemicals or a high ph-balance.

　　Use salon brand moisturizing shampoos that are infused with vitamins & herbs and that have a low-ph balance. Normal healthy hair has a ph-balance of 4.5 - 5.5, so buy a shampoo that's within that range or a little below it. Some shampoos have a very high ph-balance, which will damage the hair and leave it dry & dull looking.

2.   Do not wash your cheap lace wig while it's on your head.

　　Take the human hair lacewig off your head add a little shampoo to a sink of luke-warm water. While holding the top of the cap with one hand, make the wig in the water, and gently glide your fingers through the hair, from root to tip to cleanse it. Next, add conditioner to the hair and rinse under a faucet of cool running water. Allow most the water to run off the hair into the sink, and then lightly wrap your lace wig with a thick towel to drain off excess water.

3.   Do not lay your wet wig on a flat surface to dry.

　　After washing, place the lacewig on a wig stand head, and add a light hair moisturizer or leave-in conditioner and finger comb the product throughout the hair. Allow the hair to dry before styling & attaching to your head.

4.   Do not go swimming without protecting your cheap lace wig.

　   To prevent tangles, it's best to wear a swimming cap so your lace wig will not get too much chlorine from a swimming pool or salt water from the beach. Before getting into the water, add a leave-in conditioner and leave hair down. Do not braid hair or wear a ponytail because those styles tend to trap excess chlorine & salt water.

5.   Do not brush the cheap lace wig while it's wet.

　　Avoid brushing wet hair because the strands will break-off from the base of the cap and leave bald spots on your lace unit. Hair is in its weakest state when wet.

6.   Do not use shampoos & hair conditioners in full strength to avoid heavy build-ups.

　　Use an empty container that has a spray pump to make your own diluted shampoo or conditioner, and then apply to hair.

7.   Do not use cheap lace wig that contain alcohol.

　　Alcohol will dry hair out and damage the delicate structure of the cuticles.

8.   Do not use overuse hair products.

　　Adding too much hair products to your cheap lace wig will lead to a messy, clunky build-up. Excessive use of oils, mousse, gels, and other hair products will cause the hair to tangle, matte, and make the hairwig look unclean, limp & dull.

9.   Do not hold on to dry brittle ends.

　　Pay special attention that you add a little extra leave-in conditioner to the ends of the hair. Sometimes you cannot save the ends, and it's best to clip or trim the ends off. Cut off the dry, split ends before they split all the way up and cause horrific tangles.

10.  Do not blow-dry your cheap hair wigs.

　　After washing cheap hair wigs, allow it to air-dry so the hair will stay smooth & manageable. Blow drying the hair wig will make it frizz and feel hard & stiff.
